Helenium comes in a wide range of warm colours, from yellows through browns to reds. They are good cut flowers which also attract lots of insects. The flowering period and height of Helenium can be influenced by topping some of the stems in the month of May. In order to keep the Heleniums fit and healthy, it is recommended to dig them up every 4 years, split them and re-plant the healthy parts in soil with some added compost. Helenium looks great in warm borders and prairie gardens combined with ornamental grasses, Veronicastrum, Hemerocallis, Phlox, Monarda and Nepeta.
